One day we have to get drunk together and then go out and vomit on Murdochs. I am a non-violent person, but I do not consider soft projectiles to be violence.

I produced a revue at school while in the Sixth Form of my grammar school in aid of the Congo Relief Fund (1960 or 61?). One sketch I wrote featured Jack Kerouac, so I've been at this subversive stuff quite a long time ;-).

I just feel so uncomfortable flying for environmental reasons - even though I have always loved being up in the air, and have flown in almost every type of flying machine. You can't be me, I'm taken
